Found him unresponsive and went with East Coast Rods as mentioned by Andy.

A new ring set and new varnish could very easily be upwards of £250 a rod, depending on what ring set you choose, and possibly more.

I've had four rods completely stripped and rebuilt and the end results are fantastic. I know that at least two other forum members have used him as well and are equally happy with his work.

I have been shocked by one already

I think you may have a shock coming your way, I looked at getting a set of rods redone recently, and it was not much less than buying a new set. I come to the conclusion, are they really worth it? nope - reels I think pay for themselves but rods a decent £100 each will do what I want, so I got a set of Gardner coverts.

I have 3 Harrison Trebuchet rods that need rebuilding. The tips have gone mliky where they have been set up underwater. The rods were originally built by Fosters and I believe they are fully varnished. The varnish will need stripping and new rings whipped on.
Does anyone have a recommendation who can do this? Have asked Lee Preston, Chris Palmer and Buzzard Rods without sucess.
